Arra—nging Sympa—thies

20 Jul — 13 Aug 2005

In the latest in the Volume series of site responsive projects in The Physics Room’s Gallery C, Simon Denny’s installation Arranging Sympathies continues his interest in the material relationships between objects and spaces. He is interested in the path from pure form to symbolic value. His installation will comprise systems of objects that bring to the fore questions about the way political attitudes and beliefs are played out within a gallery context. In an oblique way, Arranging Sympathies emphasises ‘craft’ processes and the broader notion of community. Leather, wood chips, and a melange of other ‘natural’ materials and homely objects are brought together to create a balance of objects and a starting point for interpreting the work.
